The story
Dawson City Music Festival in Dawson City
Dawson City Music Festival is an intimate July concert weekend held across small venues in one of Canada's best-preserved gold rush towns, deep in the Yukon near the Alaska border. Running since the early 1990s, it favors indie, folk and roots Canadian acts, uses a single wristband to move between simultaneous sets, and unfolds under near-continuous midnight sun that keeps the town lit late into the night.
Dawson City Music Festival stages an intimate summer concert weekend inside one of Canada's most preserved gold rush towns, where wooden boardwalks and false-front buildings from the Klondike era still line the streets along the Yukon River.
